6" exactly and a 4.5" backspaced wheel is what is needed to fit a 37" tire with no trimming and enough room for full turn and a bit of off-road flexing.
Beware - most suspension kits that are called 6" kits are only about 5-5.5", at least the '02-'05 torsion bar kits. I know for a fact the Fabtech, ProComp & Superlift all fall short. The only one's I've tape measure verified are exactly what they state are the 4" Rancho and the 6" Skyjacker (which I know for a fact clears 37's with the proper wheel)...

TheBaker is right. 5 in front 3 on the back. Check ebay for everything like I did. Chrome door handle covers, stainless steel step, chrome gas cover, chrome mirror cover, and 3" PA body lift. All from ebay. Anybody got 03 ram? Body lift selling for $190. Full set. Thats what I got. I think it will fit 02-05 but I'm not sure.

Alright after reading this thread and others I have formed my question
Is there a 3" leveling kit and a 2" body lift or does it only come in 3" and then is there a way to also add clearance to the back but not 3" because i want to get the truck level so like a 1.5" system to add some additional clearance because i do off road some but not a lot so i dont need just a suspension lift just enought for some wide 35's and some offroad flex available?

There is no 2" body lift for 3rd gen 1500's to my knowledge. I think someone makes 3" keys for the torsion fronts, but personally I'd not do it, too severe an angle on the CV's. As far as the rear goes, you can buy blocks and U-bolts in 1" increments for sure, possibly even 1/2" increments.
I think your best and least expensive option is a set of leveling keys 2.5" and a 3" body lift, giving a perfect 5.5" in front, 3" in the rear (which is about perfectly level) and with a set of properly backspaced wheels should easily clear a 35x13.5 tire, hell maybe even a 35x15.5 for that matter. With a 4" suspension lift and 4.5" backspacing, I have a good bit of room with 35x12.5s...
